Attending the BritJam

A nice ride down to the BritJam in Haddam, CT on August 19th. From Belchertown to Westfield, then Agawam into Suffield, CT. Picking up travelers along the way.

We finally cutover to route 5 thru East Hartford, then to route 17 to route 66, then route 151 into Haddam and the Haddam Neck Fairgrounds. About 80 miles.
Plenty of people were in attendance, with a lot of old bikes of all types ... but a lot of British bikes as expected.























This bike has gas powered headlamp and tail light. Very cool!

















On the way out, we started out reversing or tracks but then hopped on 91 North. I cut thru Enfield into E. Longmeadow then Wilbraham and Ludlow to Belchertown.

Another 70 miles.

The back roads to Turners Falls

Headed out with the missus to Turners Falls, on this beautiful day. We headed out north up rte 202 and cut thru Shutesbury on some nice back country roads to Lake Wyola.

From there we headed west in a nice leisurely fashion to Montague and then north to Turners Falls. We took a ride around town, which around 4pm was quiet with very few people or cars in evidence.
Then we headed south again and came down rte 47 into Amherst. Even then we cut across some back roads to circumvent rte 9 traffic and rte 116 construction to end up back in Belchertown. It was a nice couple of hours and 70 miles of riding.
